The June meeting was held at the home of Pat Lawrence, "Pat's Pet Inn", with about 23 ladies in attendance, Kathy Eberhard was the acting president and opened the meeting with the Ode and Collect and a welcome for all our summer members. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved and Kathy brought up the question of the presidency and asked for volunteers for the job. As none were forthcoming,she offered to take the position. Cathy Crane told the ladies of a project for recycling of tin cans The roll call was "Describe a pet care tip you find helpful". Many good ideas were presented including spay and neuter programmes, immunization, love and attention, grooming and training. Then the hostess, Pat Lawrence, using her dog "Jackie" and her long haired cat "Cricket" gave a very interesting grooming demonstration. She showed the proper tools to be used and answered questions on flea control and grooming products. The animals behaved beautifully and were the hit of the show. President Kathy Eberhard then thanked Pat for the use of her home and the hostesses for the tasty refreshments, and the meeting was adjourned. This was the last meeting until Sept. 19 at the home of Marion Goulah.This will be a "Friendship" meeting and everyone is asked to bring along a friend and/or a neighbour. 6 NORTH LEEDS LANTERN JULY/AUGUST 1989 SOUTH CROSBY FRIENDSHJP CLUB Four members attended the Seniors Games Euchre Tournament and six members the Bowling Tournament in Smiths Falls in May but unfortunately neither group advanced to the Kemptville games.
